Common Challenges

Inconsistent Pickups & Overflowing Bins

Inconsistent hauler performance necessitates additional rework and escalations for your team. Following up with vendors regarding service leads to increased workload, while overfilled containers and congested docks interfere with daily operations, resulting in lost time and higher operational expenses.

Hidden Fees, Unclear Pricing, and Billing Errors

Inconsistent invoicing leads to budget variance and requires regular reconciliation by the team. Comparing charges with actual services often involves manual reviews and escalations, which takes staff time and may make it more difficult to accurately track program costs.

Multi-Site, Multi-Vendor Headaches

Managing numerous sites with multiple vendors across regions introduces various complexities, such as handling several contracts, differing service level agreements (SLAs), and diverse invoice formats. Vendor data may lack consistency or be presented in varying report formats, which can complicate consolidated reporting for leadership and ESG purposes.

Low Tenant Engagement & Recycling Particpation

Lack of participation and poor sorting cause rejected loads and contamination fees, driving higher disposal costs and depressing diversion/ESG metrics in your reports. These issues push recoverable material to landfill and erode confidence in performance data. Without targeted fixes to station design, signage, and container mix, the cycle persists.

Insufficient, Inaccurate, or Unreliable Waste Data

Vendor-reported tonnages and service logs are often missing, incomplete, or inconsistent, making them non-auditable and impossible to independently verify. This leads to guesswork on diversion rates, delayed ESG reporting, and unreliable budgeting and performance decisions as your team spends excess time chasing down usable metrics.

Our Solutions

Each facility operates uniquely, necessitating a tailored approach. Building layouts, traffic patterns, materials, and reporting requirements differ from site to site. Our solutions offer full customization and are delivered through two distinct program avenues: 360 Foundation, which establishes and optimizes your program for consistent reporting; and 360 Oversight, which ensures ongoing improvement, vendor accountability, and validated outcomes across all locations.

360 FOUNDATION

Best for: Low participation, data/reporting gaps, and getting the program designed correctly.

Fixes:

  • Behavior & contamination: Signage, training, and outreach tools that improve tenant participation and reduce contamination, turning recycling into a building-wide success.
  • Reporting & compliance: From diversion data to material tracking, we simplify compliance with LEED credits, ESG goals, and corporate sustainability initiatives.

  • Program design & right-sizing: No one-size-fits-all. We design a tailored setup around your layout, tenant needs, and waste streams to maximize diversion and reduce operational complexity.

360 OVERSIGHT

Best for: Vendor reliability and accountability, billing accuracy, and continuous improvement across sites.

Fixes:

  • Vendor reliability & service assurance: Active monitoring, exception tracking, and corrective actions with haulers—no more chasing down vendors.

  • Billing accuracy & fee control: Monthly invoice audits, dispute support, and right-sizing triggers—no more billing errors or wasted time.

  • Everything in Foundation, plus accountability: Behavior and contamination support (signage, training, outreach), credible reporting for LEED/ESG/corporate goals, and tailored program design/right-sizing—now backed by ongoing oversight and enforcement.
